I. Introduction
*A. Thesis: Victor’s creation in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a regular creature, but he is considered a monster in the eyes of regular people. He is therefore only made into a vicious, evil thing by the thoughts of others. It is THEM that turn him into the monster – he doesn't start out as one.
CHANGE* Point of view of the monster, point of view of the people.
It is in the monster's nature to be a monster...! (other side)
NO NAME - human nature to label him as a monster
II. Point One: What defines a monster? – short paragraph – is there even an exact definition that can justify Victor’s creation being called a monster?
III. Point Two: The monster is so human-like. *A. Sub point: The monster is intelligent; he can speak, he can read, he can learn. *1. Evidence 1: Quote about the monster reading books (165) *2. Evidence 2: Quote about the monster learning the English language *B. Point Two: The monster has feelings and can think for himself. *1. Evidence 1: Quote about the monster feeling neglected (171) *2. Evidence 2: Quote about the monster deciding to take revenge (173) *C. Point Three: The monster was made of human bodies. *1. Evidence 1: Quote about the making of the monster
IV. Point Three: But the people around him treat him like a monster, and therefore he becomes one. *A. Sub point: Victor writes down in his journal what he thinks about the monster’s appearance, the monster gets kicked out of a house, people make him realize that he’s ugly. *1. Evidence 1: quote about Felix kicking the monster out of his house *2. Evidence 2: quote about the monster saying nobody likes him because he’s ugly
OTHER CHOICES ONE I. Introduction
*A. Thesis: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein proves that pursuing a challenging mission and gaining knowledge is not always beneficial. II. Point One: Victor wanted to know what would happen if he tried to create another living being – clearly, things went wrong (pursuing a challenging mission). III. Point Two: Because he heard Victor’s story, Watson now feels discouraged and does not want to continue his own journey (gaining knowledge).
